of the South. The vines quickly produce a 
fine crop of small, attractive pods. 314 
inches long, each with 3 or 4 small, flat 
green beans of splendid quality. Especially 
valuable in sections where early frosts will 
not permit other Lima Beans to mature a 
crop. 
King of the Garden. 90 days. A vigorous grow- 
er bearing profusely. The beans are of good 
size and have a flavor unsurpassed by any 
variety. 
Early Leviathan. 79 days. An early, hardy,

“Baby Potato’’ Bush Lima Bean. 60 days. 
You probably remember the desirable quali- 
ties of Henderson’s ‘‘Baby’’ Lima. This new 
baby, which received the highest points in 
1939 competition and was awarded a Silver 
Medal, resembles the 12- to 16-inch bush 
development of Henderson. Its pods are 
really large, very freely produced and filled 
with chubby little beans of delicious Lima 
flavor. Because of its unmatched earliness, 
the tender, green eating stage, and the 
creamy white matured dry stage, both occur 
safely before injury by the cold which 
menaces such crops.
